Which structures are included in the female reproductive system?

The female reproductive system is specifically designed for the production of eggs (ova) and for facilitating reproduction. This system includes several key structures:

Ovaries are responsible for producing eggs and hormones such as estrogen and progesterone, which are essential for regulating the menstrual cycle and supporting pregnancy.

Fallopian tubes serve as the pathway for the eggs to travel from the ovaries to the uterus. They are also the typical site of fertilization, where sperm meets the egg.

Vagina is the muscular canal that links the external genitals to the uterus and serves multiple purposes, including allowing for the entry of sperm and providing a birth canal during childbirth.

In contrast, the other options include structures that belong to the male reproductive system or are unrelated to reproduction altogether. The male reproductive system comprises testes, vas deferens, and prostate gland, while the other selection lists components of the lymphatic and immune systems, which do not relate to reproductive function. This highlights the unique roles of the reproductive structures specific to each gender.
